Join Steenberg for an unforgettable evening this Women’s Month. On Thursday, 28 August 2025, Bistro Sixteen82 will host an intimate dinner honouring the strength, grace, and resilience of women through powerful storytelling and inspired cuisine.
Headlining the night is the remarkable Professor Blanche Cupido, one of South Africa’s leading cardiologists and medical educators. In her moving talk, "Resilience – What Does This Mean for the Modern Woman", Professor Cupido will share personal insights on balancing the pressure of high-stakes environments with self-care and boundary setting, offering a fresh, authentic perspective on what it means to rise, reset, and thrive.
This evening is a celebration of strength, perseverance and the multifaceted nature of modern women. We are honoured to host Professor Cupido, whose personal and professional experiences offer valuable insight into resilience, balance, and navigating life’s challenges with confidence and care. Her message resonates strongly with the spirit of Women’s Month, which honours the strength, contributions, and everyday journeys of women.
